Chapter 73 – Episode 73 – Development (4)
“A cafe?”
My father asked, looking at the first page of the document I handed him.
“Yes, I was thinking of opening a cafe.”
I nodded.
Well, there were plenty of ways to make more money, but a cafe seemed like the most reasonable start.
After all, it was going to bring Dajeong’s family together.
I’d put Dajeong’s mother in charge, and Yujeong’s sister as the manager.
Then, if I hired pretty girls as part-timers and rotated them, it would go well. If I used the items in the Heroine App store to help with the business, there was no way it wouldn’t succeed.
‘I’ll set up an office above it, go to work occasionally, make money with stocks, and get closer to Dajeong and Yujeong’s sister… Hehe.’
A harem office above a harem cafe!
If I tempted Dajeong with free drinks and snacks, I could lure her to do her drawing or studying in my office instead of her house.
“Hmm. A cafe… Are you thinking of starting it independently?”
On the other hand, Sujeong’s father didn’t look too happy. Well, it was a natural reaction when a man in his early twenties wanted to start a cafe without any experience.
“Yes, that’s what I’m thinking.”
“It won’t be easy, but let’s take a look first.”
My father said that and began to silently flip through the proposal I had given him.
Gulp, gulp.
I waited, drinking the orange juice my father had given me.
“Hmm.”
One page, two pages.
With each page he turned, my father’s expression improved quite a bit.
“The plan is quite well laid out. Did you write this?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Hmm. Good. The concept is well-defined…”
My father was impressed.
Actually, it wasn’t me who wrote it, but Delia, but there was no need to tell him that.
‘Thank you, Delia.’
Yesterday, I told Delia that I wanted to open a cafe, and she said, ‘Understood, Jinhyun-nim,’ and suddenly completed the proposal all by herself.
She had packaged various elements, such as the target customer base, concept, and points of differentiation, in a plausible way.
As expected of Delia.
She’s the best!
Just as I was thinking that, my father looked at me.
“Looking at the proposal, there are many traces of research, which is great. But if you start a business, you need to be able to manage people older than you. There will definitely be unexpected variables… There are many things to be careful about. Still, are you sure you want to start this business?”
“Yes, I am confident.”
I nodded.
With the help of the Heroine App, there was nothing I couldn’t do.
My father chuckled at my expression.
“If that’s the case… Since you’re sure about the area you want for the cafe, I’ll introduce you to a friend of mine. I’ll ask him to help you get a good location. I can also introduce you to a good interior designer. You’ll have to handle the supply chain issues yourself, though.”
“Thank you for your help.”
When I bowed my head, my father shook his head.
“Alright. I’m just introducing you to what I know so you can have a better start, not investing in you. I don’t guarantee success, and if you fail, you’ll have to pick yourself up. You understand that, right?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then that’s fine.”
My father smiled.
After that, I had a casual conversation with my father.
He clearly cared about Sujeong, as most of the questions were about her.
I also brought up the idea of moving. Fortunately, my favorability and trust ratings were high, so I was able to get permission to live with Sujeong without much trouble.
After talking for about 20 more minutes, I got up from the sofa.
“Then, I’ll be going.”
“Alright. It’s a shame that we can’t have dinner together, if the time wasn’t so awkward.”
“It’s okay. I’ll visit again soon with Sujeong.”
“Haha. That’s good. I’ll talk to my friend and contact you again soon.”
I said goodbye and left Sujeong’s father’s office.
******
The next morning.
Today was the day I was going to see the house I was moving into with Sujeong and Delia.
“Jinhyun, we’re all ready!”
I was already dressed and sitting on the sofa in the black room, chatting with Dajeong, when Sujeong and Delia came into the black room, ready to go out.
‘Gasp.’
I was surprised to see Sujeong and Delia standing demurely.
Sujeong was all dressed up for the first time in a while, and Delia was wearing the most glamorous of the outfits I had bought her.
Both of them were showing a rare side that I didn’t usually see.
As I couldn’t take my eyes off them, Sujeong smiled shyly.
“What is it? You’re staring too much, aren’t you?”
“No, you two are so dressed up, who else would I look at? You’re both goddesses.”
“Hehe. Really?”
It was an obvious compliment, but Sujeong happily brushed her hair back a little.
“Really. It’s totally heart-fluttering.”
“I put in a little effort for the first time in a while, so I’m glad♡.”
I praised Sujeong and Delia’s appearance like that, and then we all left the black room together.
We came out of the front door and went down the stairs.
As soon as we got outside, Sujeong linked her arm with mine as if it was natural.
Seeing that, Delia also hesitated for a moment, then shyly took my other arm.
‘Ah, this is nice…’
How heavenly this was.
The day had come when I could walk around with such beauties on both arms.
It was a little uncomfortable to walk, but that didn’t matter.
I felt an immense sense of superiority. Was this what it felt like to be a king?
Amazing.
The women are gorgeous.
Who is that guy?
As we went out into the street, people’s eyes were drawn to us.
In particular, the men were staring at Sujeong and Delia’s beauty, mesmerized. Delia wasn’t even wearing makeup, but she was radiant.
While we were walking, Sujeong asked.
“By the way, where are we going today?”
“Oh, right. I haven’t told you yet. We’re going to see the house we’re moving into.”
“Huh? A house?”
Sujeong’s eyes widened.
“Yeah.”
“Wow. Really?”
“Yeah. It’s a short taxi ride away. We’re going to see three in total, so tell me which one you like, and we’ll go with that?”
We took a taxi to the neighborhood where the Dajeong-Yujeong sisters lived.
The neighborhood itself was quite nice. It was just that Dajeong lived in a secluded area.
There were a few decent houses about 15 minutes away on foot.
When we got out at the place we had agreed to meet, a real estate agent was waiting for us.
“Hello.”
“Ah, yes. Hello…?”
When I greeted him, the real estate agent also found me and greeted me. However, his pupils widened at the sight of Sujeong and Delia with me.
“Are these the people you were talking about yesterday…?”
“Yes, they’re my partners who will be living with me.”
I smiled contentedly and put my arms around Sujeong and Delia’s waists. They didn’t resist, only blushing.
“Ah, ah…!”
The real estate agent, who looked to be in his mid-30s, looked very surprised, but quickly regained his composure and put on a business smile.
“S-Shall we go take a look right away?”
“Yes.”
“Then this way.”
The first house we were going to see was located on a hill.
After climbing the hill for about 30 seconds, a white, plausible-looking house appeared.
“Is this it?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s a detached house in a European-style complex with a land area of 90 pyeong and an indoor area of 104 pyeong. Parking is available for up to two cars. There’s also a storage room inside with an overhead door.”
The parking lot was already open. When we went inside and the real estate agent showed us how to close the door, Sujeong exclaimed, “Wow.”
“You can go up the stairs, or you can enter through the parking lot.”
It was a three-story house.
There were quite a few rooms, and the terrace was luxurious, like a place where a noble would live.
As we looked around the interior while listening to the explanation, Sujeong kept exclaiming and said to me.
“Jinhyun, Jinhyun.”
“Yeah?”
“This place looks better than my dad’s house?”
It was understandable that she felt that way. I felt that way too.
I chuckled.
“But your house is more expensive?”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yeah. This place is 2.5 billion won, but your house is almost twice that.”
In reality, Sujeong’s father’s house was not twice as much, but close to 4 billion won.
It was a mysterious thing that it was more expensive than this kind of house.
“Wow… Our house was really expensive?”
“Did you not know the price?”
“Uh-uh. I never really looked it up…”
Sujeong smiled shyly.
I asked Delia.
“What did you think, Delia?”
“It seems good. It’s spacious and I think we can live comfortably.”
It was a simple impression, but Delia also seemed to like it quite a bit.
‘Well, it was one of the three places that shone the brightest on the Fortune Tracker.’
But this wasn’t the place that shone the brightest.
I said to the real estate agent.
“Let’s see the next house.”
“Ah, yes. I’ll guide you.”
The second house was cheaper than the first.
A house with a sale price of 1.9 billion won.
This house was also incomparably better than the one-room apartment that Sujeong and I were living in now, but Sujeong and Delia’s reactions were slightly subdued, perhaps because it was less than the first house.
‘I’m looking forward to the next house.’
The third house had shone the brightest according to the Fortune Tracker.
It was the furthest from the Dajeong-Yujeong sisters’ house, but it was still within walking distance.
We headed to the third house last.
“It’s a detached house with a land area of 115 pyeong and an indoor area of 135 pyeong.”
“Wow.”
“The parking space is the largest, right? You can park up to four cars.”
It was the best-looking house from the outside. It was painted in a clean, light brown tone.
‘It’s good that the parking lot is big.’
Honestly, the most difficult thing was the parking space.
If I were to buy cars for the heroines in the future, two parking spaces wouldn’t be enough.
“First, I’ll show you the basement.”
This house also had a basement, which was unusual.
We followed the real estate agent down the stairs. A wide hallway unfolded, and when we opened the door on the right, a large space filled our vision.
A space much larger than the living room of a normal house.
A large screen attached to the right wall caught our attention.
There was a leather sofa in the middle, and on the left was a luxurious marble dining table that was integrated with the floor.
Behind the dining table was a kitchen with a clean design.
“This is the party room. There’s a large screen for watching movies, and there’s a sub-kitchen so you can cook. Oh, the refrigerator is also built into the wall, so the design is clean.”
“Wow…”
Sujeong looked around the party room in admiration.
The real estate agent smiled.
“It’s designed to be a large space so that everyone can relax and enjoy themselves comfortably. You can also use party lights.”
When the real estate agent touched a device on the wall, the lights changed to a mysterious color.
‘A party room…’
It was definitely good.
I looked at the place that would become the future harem orgy room with a satisfied expression.
